Description of Problem: When trying to display man pages using the common 'man' command (e.g. 'man ls', an error message is displayed: "troff: fatal error: can't find macro file safer" How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 7.1 (seawolf) using RedHat ISO (seawolf-i386-disc1.iso) with french settings (locale and so on) 2. Restart computer 3. Type 'man ls' Actual Results: "troff: fatal error: can't find macro file safer" Expected Results: Well, the man page for the 'ls' command at least ;) Additional Information: I should have put this into a much higher severity level because it is _very_ annoying !
Well, I found that the groff packages on my Redhat 7.1 CD was broken. Don't know if it comes from the ISO image (any idea anyone ?) or just from the CD burning. Download of the groff package from RedHat ftp fixes the problem. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/groff-1.16.1-7.i386.rpm
